Anthony “Tony” Joseph Poletti unexpectedly passed away on May 7, 2018 at the age of 42 in Los Angeles, CA. Tony was a loving soul who would give of himself unconditionally. Whether it be helping to find a great new restaurant (which he would gladly introduce you to himself), providing a TV show or movie recommendation (specializing in anime), or assisting with advice on the latest technology, he was always there to lend a hand while sharing his warm, gentle smile and instantly endearing laugh.
Tony worked at Paramount Pictures Corporation for 13 years as a Senior Technical Analyst supporting the backlot and corporate groups, and was recently promoted into World Wide Technical Operations as a Manager of Content Security. He impacted many lives there not just through his work, but through his generous and loving spirit.
Tony leaves behind his loving wife, Laura (Simmons) Poletti, dog, Murphy and cat, Ripley. He and Laura were together since 2013 and were inseparable since the day they met. It was truly love at first sight – a shared immediate connection typically only dreamt of on the big screen.
Other surviving family: father, Claude Poletti, step-mother, Cheryl (Abbas) Poletti, mother, So Thi Poletti; siblings, Amy Poletti and Claude Poletti Jr.; foster brothers, Ahn (Joseph) Hung, Hung Nguyen, Khanh Nguyen, Tuan Nguyen, Dat Nguyen, and Khanh Le.
Visitation will be held on Monday, May 14th from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm followed by the Funeral Service on Tuesday, May 15th at 1:00 pm at Gates, Kingsley & Gates Smith Salsbury in Culver City, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Poletti Family Fund at https://www.gofundme.com/poletti.
